Anna Eskamani sues Democratic opponent in Central Florida House race: The lawsuit, filed in Leon County, accuses Lou Forges, a House candidate facing off against former Planned Parenthood official Eskamani, of having his candidate paperwork notarized by his wife, Patricia. Florida law states that a notary public "may not notarize a signature on a document if the person whose signature is to be notarized is the spouse, son, daughter, mother or father of the notary public." The penalties for a notary public who "falsely or fraudulently makes a certificate as a notary public" include a felony charge. Meanwhile, Democrats are also accusing Forges of having been recruited by the GOP to run against Eskamani, creating a fake primary.

Florida's SunPass toll system starts getting back up to speed: SunPass toll transactions are starting to be processed, 22 days after a $287 million upgrade to the system was expected to be completed on June 11.
